Answer: -The mean is not affected by the existence of an outlier.

Step-by-step explanation:

An outlier is an ultimate value in a set of data that is very much higher or lower than the other numbers. Mean is the only central tendency which is affected by the outlier. (It also affect the standard deviation)

It can affect the mean of a data set by skewing the results so that the mean is no longer representative of the data set.

The median and the interquartile range is unaffected by the existence of an outlier.

Susan was given the following number to convert to scientific notation: 12,050,000 Her answer was 1.25 x 10^7 , but it was marke

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

C. She left out a zero between the two and the five

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Susan is expected to convert 12,050,000 to scientific notation, what Susan should have done is shown below:

Count the number of decimal places from your right up to before the first digit, and place the decimal point after the first digit. The number of decimal places counted would determine the exponent we are to use.

Here, we have 7 decimal places, counting from the right to the left, therefore, the exponent would be a positive 7.

What Susan should have is:

1.205 × 10⁷ NOT 1.25 × 10⁷.

1.25 × 10⁷ = 12,500,000, which is different from 12,050,000.

Her paper was marked wrong because: "she left out a zero between the two and the five"

Suppose a couple planned to have three children. Let X be the number of girls the couple has.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

a) {GGG, GGB, GBG, BGG, BBG, BGB, GBB, BBB}

b) {0,1,2,3}

$P(X=2) = \dfrac{3}{8}$

$P(\text{3 boys}) = \dfrac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Suppose a couple planned to have three children. Let X be the number of girls the couple has.

a) possible arrangements of girls and boys

Sample space:

{GGG, GGB, GBG, BGG, BBG, BGB, GBB, BBB}

b) sample space for X

X is the number of girls couple has. Thus, X can take the values 0, 1, 2 and 3 that is 0 girls, 1 girl, 2 girls and three girls from three children.

Sample space: {0,1,2,3}

c) probability that X=2

P(X=2)

That is we have to compute the probability that couple has exactly two girls.

$\text{Probability} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

Favorable outcome: {GGB, GBG, BGG}

$P(X=2) =\dfrac{3}{8}$

d) probability that the couple have three boys.

Favorable outcome: {BBB}

$P(BBB) = \dfrac{1}{8}$
